Orangutan playtime looks different in the wild compared to in the zoo🛝🦧 New study by Isabelle Laumer, Caroline Schuppli and team shows that zoo-housed orangutans explore more objects in more varied ways ⬇️ www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The relationship between orangutan mother and child is particularly strong! For the first two years, the young completely relies on its mother to survive. The mother teaches its offspring how to forage for food and build a nest, and stay with their young for up to seven years!

Elephant seals 🦭 have a lot of blood with a lot of red blood cells (RBC)🩸 with lots of haemoglobin to store lots of oxygen. That way they can dive for 20 min (max > 2 hr!). That whitish layer between plasma and RBC are white blood cells and platelets #AnilloSEALS #PinnipedFacts 🧪#MarMam

Final paper of the orangutan gesture saga published this week! 🦧👋Wild-captive contrasts in non-voc communicative repertoires seem to be mainly driven by additional interaction partners, not by diffs in interaction outcomes or environmental affordances. t.ly/pBwmD
